Dianne reviews Return to Stringybark Creek, the latest in the Callahans of Stringybark Creek series, written by Karly Lane.


As usual, another fantastic book by Karly Lane! I couldn't wait to get started on the latest installment of the Callahans of Stringybark Creek series.

This book keeps you on your toes and sucks you right into the story, and I found it really hard to put down (pretty much the usual for me).

We get hooked into the drama of Hadley Callahan, her coming home to heal, and to escape the media.

What part does her sister Harmony play with the split from Hadley's husband? Hadley doesn't want to upset her parents too much, but can she tell them everything without causing a rift in the family? We watch the drama unfold and it just keeps on getting more interesting.

Then there's Oliver Dawson (Ollie). He's always been there, waiting on the sidelines. Can Hadley finally see that what she always needed was right in from of her the whole time? Especially when everyone else knows that Ollie has been in love with her for years.

This book just kept getting better and better the further on I read. If you have read the first two books in the series, you need to grab this one as well.
